When the construction firm closed in August, I fell 5 months behind on rent. Last Friday a 10-day notice to quit was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $3,750.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by November, we must leave.
I have three school-aged children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working weekend shifts, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $3,750 goes:
• Rent arrears (5 months): $2,600
• Late fees and court costs: $220
• Utilities in arrears: $150
• First month of rent as a buffer: $780
Glad we found this place.

Updates from Charlotte
Wanted to say thank you properly. 68% funded and I made the first payment toward rent arrears.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,315 in total) I made the first payment toward utilities in arrears. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Sending love, Charlotte. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Sending good thoughts, Charlotte. Shared it with a few friends.
Hang in there, Charlotte. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 19 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
